Today was the 15th (at least, that I've documented) project Dave has managed at our house. He's simply the best. He takes care of us and our home, and treats it like it was his own. Thank you for all that you've done for us over the years, Dave. read more

I'm a plumbing contractor and I use Clingerman painting for all my jobs that require sheet rock repair. Dave is highly skilled and the job comes out perfect every time. read more

We just had 90% of the interior of our house painted by Dave and he did an amazing job. He is a true professional and perfectionist. He was very communicative throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions. He knows what he is doing and goes the extra mile - we had many walls that needed to be patched and some random things we wanted taken out of the walls (and old alarm system) and he took them out, put in the sheet rock, and made it look like nothing had ever been there. His pricing is fair and you can tell he takes pride in his work and wants to do it right for you and your family. We already asked for a quote on another project and hope we can have him back to start on that soon. I was very overwhelmed about the painting process, but Dave's confidence and knowledge made it easy and enoyable! read more

The more I look at our house, the happier I get about Dave's work. He and Eric were prompt, efficient, and did exactly what they said they'd do. The quality of work exceeded our expectations and Dave's attention to detail is admirable and appreciated. Price was right and almost feels like a bargain given the high quality. People throw around the word "craftsman" but Dave really is all that. Couldn't recommend more highly and will absolutely use again for any exterior or interior work. read more

Clingerman Painting - Painters Near Me

This company should be avoided at all costs! Dishonest and terrible work. The owner Dave lies and tried to discredit and blame others when he is at fault. We had to hire another company to finish and redo all their work. Do yourself a favor and find someone else! read more

I've used Dave Clingerman for 28 years and he's the best. Attention to detail, quality work and reliable. With Dave, Perfection is always the goal. He's trustworthy, reasonable and always a professional. During COVID and now "post COVID" the trades are being slammed with too much business. Call someone for any trade and expect to wait a week for a return call. Try to schedule work and it will be weeks or months before your job can be done. Often times Customers can have unreasonable expectations and be impatient, this may account for a poor review. You will be thrilled with the results you get from Clingerman painting. read more

Dave just completed repainting the outside of our house and did a fantastic job! Dave and his assistant Eric were pleasant to work with, paid close attention to detail and priced fairly. The exterior of my house was difficult to paint because of high roof peaks and dense landscaping (plants, trellises, etc.), but Dave did an excellent job and NONE of my landscaping was damaged. Dave's a true professional, you won't be disappointed. read more

Dave came highly recommended to us so we had high expectations. He exceeded them. He is obviously a very creative person and also a perfectionist. He listened to what we wanted us but also provided his expert opinion. We listened and he transformed our home more quickly and completely than I could have imagined. He kept us informed all along the way and also accommodated a couple of change requests we had for additional work. He threw in a couple of favors along the way too. Lastly he is a good guy and a personality that is fun to work with. Dave and Eric took good care of us and I highly recommend Clingerman Painting. read more

Awesome work - very professional, extremely clean and detailed - great quality work. A true professional - I am planning on using his services in other rooms in the house in the future and would recommend him to anyone I know who wants a quality job done! read more

Thanks Dave and Eric for your great job ! read more

Clingerman Painting - Painters Near Me

Dave did some painting on our house and we couldn't be more pleased. He's local to the Danville, Alamo, San Ramon area and he and his crew are communicative and good at what they do. I'd definitely use him again. read more

Dave is incredibly detailed oriented. He is a perfectionist! We have used Clingerman painting for 3 homes now and love his work. We have a property that is incredibly difficult to paint and he mastered it. He is really good with fixing problems like painting over dark colors etc. He is a true professional, cares about his work, and is an incredible hard worker. He is very easy to talk to and work with. If you want your house to look perfect Clingerman Painting is the way to go! We will always stick with Dave. read more

We just had our house painted by Clingerman Painting and they did an awesome job. Their attention to detail and desire to go above and beyond exceeded our expectations. read more

We give Dave Clingerman our highest recommendation! He has handled several projects for us over the years and they've all came out perfect. In the last month, even though he is very busy, he squeezed us into his schedule. Dave is a professional craftsman - and on top of that, if he ever gets tired of painting for a living, he can do stand up comedy. read more

I got Dave Clingerman awesome review off of my next door app and decided to call to set up an appointment. Had to call him twice to get a text back that he would call me after the weekend. I waited until Tuesday night and text him to remind him. I finally received a call and we spoke for at least 15 minutes on what I was looking for. He said he was a month out, I was disappointed but asked if he would come by to give me a quote.. He agreed!! And said he would call me and swing by after his job that week. 2 weeks went by and no call. It's exhausting trying to keep up on people who tell you they will do something and do not follow threw. I just text him to ask if he was still interested and I received a return text "NO". Communication is a must with a painter or a contractor. read more

Dave and company did a fantastic job on our home. They were very detailed and efficient. It only took them 4 days to prep, clean and paint our house. read more

Dave just finished removing the "popcorn" from all the ceilings in our house, texturing and painting them. He and his crew did a fantastic job! We expected it to be pretty messy, but they kept the mess to a bare minimum and cleaned up well each night. Dave is very easy to work with, honest and hard-working. We will definitely call him again for big painting jobs and will recommend him to our friends. read more

Dave and his crew have done a great job on our house. We have had him do several jobs and we have been totally pleased each time. To begin with he gives you a detailed estimate in writing. He quickly answers email or voice mail messages. He shows up on time, every time. During a project the work area is cleaned up every day; completely professional. Then there is the quality. Top notch. He has done really high ceilings, cut in different colors worked inside and out. All done perfectly. He makes recommendations if you ask for them, but he will do what you ask. On top of it all, he and his guys are so pleasant you'll miss them when they are done. I can't recommend him highly enough. He also does crown moldings but we haven't used him for that. read more

Dave Clingerman has painted for us on many occasions at two separate houses, big and little jobs alike. He is excellent -- dependable and does outstanding work. Knows painting and crown molding like no others. He always pays attention to details and takes great pride in his work. Very professional with all his tools, drop cloths, and clean up. Usually only has one other guy working with him so he can control the quality of his work. You may pay a little more because he doesn't take shortcuts. He is definitely our "go to" guy! read more

This review is a little overdue, but also benefits from having lived with the work for a few months. I cannot say enough good things about the work Dave and his associate did for us. We had some interior painting, trim work and crown molding done. The suggestions were excellent, the pricing was reasonable, the work professional, and the quality was top notch. It is clear that they take great pride in the work they do. I look forward to using Dave's services again. read more

I ended up using a different company due to scheduling conflict but I still wanted to post my experience here. I had a small job (paint a ceiling in one room plus some portions of walls). Another company didn't even call me back but Dave did. He came onsite on time to examine my room, was professional, and provided a competitive quote. So while I can't yet speak to the quality of his work yet, I would still call him for future bids. read more

Pretty lame service. We saw Dave and heard from him quit a bit until we signed the agreement. He was on the job ~ 5% of the time. They pulled off the job twice because a 'very important' client needed something done right away. He was the high bid. We figured that we would be getting VIP service without having to push for it. As time went on we found may flaws in the finished work. We were expected to act as the primary inspectors- there was no lead person (or the owner) doing QC checks before we were expected to check the work. If we knew painting, we would have done it our selves or hired some painting 'guys'. We also spent a lot of time managing paint purchasing for the crew- not sure if this is standard for painters or not. I checked, they do carry a contractors lic and workers comp--this counts for an extra star. read more

Dave is our go-to option for painting, texturing and moulding. I recently installed a new ceiling fan and TV and had some sheet rock that needed patching, texturing and painting. He and Eric are always on time, show up when they say they will, and do great work. It's great having contractors that you can count on, do good work, and most importantly, that you can trust to work in your home and around your family. This is a top-notch company and we will continue to use them. read more

David is the best painter around! I have had other painters in other homes and he goes way above and beyond. He is a complete perfectionist and really knows what he is doing. He is always on time, comes on weekends or evenings if need be, and he always cleans up after. He is in no way lazy like most painters I've encountered are. He's friendly and kind and easy to have in your home for days on end. My children love him too! There is NO OTHER painter that I would have paint anything in (or out!) my home! He's a must-have! read more

I seldom write reviews on YELP or any other site for that matter. However, Dave Clingerman (and his assistant, Eric) have been doing all of my painting, crown moldings, and ceiling work for over 10 years. As an example, my wife and I downsized into retirement in 2009 and bought a smaller home. It needed paint, inside and out, crown moldings, and the "popcorn" ceiling removed and a more appealing texturing applied. We also added a couple of fences and arbor that needed painting. We had Dave do it all. I am extremely fussy about details. I tend to hover around contractors we hire to be sure they perform as expected. We just had Dave and Eric update our exterior last week with a slightly richer color as the sun is quite harsh on our front in the afternoon and had faded the color where the sun is most brutal. I no longer hover as I know what to expect from Dave and Eric. If I were writing a tag line for Dave Clingerman Painting, I would tell everyone, "When you think about excellence and quality in painting, think Clingerman." I promise you, you will never need another contractor for painting. read more
